Man oh man....I LOVE fish tacos.  Once or twice a month my family will have "Fish Taco Friday", and it is the best.  These tacos are seriously one of my favourite meals in the world, and I would happily eat them every single Friday for the rest of my life.  Ha!

We're not too fussy about what kind of fish we use, and have tried out many different seasonings as well.  Sometimes we'll even swap out the fish for shrimp, which is equally delicious!  And I love the colours of everything that goes into these tacos, from the purple cabbage, to the green guacamole...so fun!

Now, I will say that these take a bit of time and effort to do, but it is so worth it.  You can always use store salsa instead of making your own pico, if you want to save some time (I won't judge you I promise).  I think it's a fun meal to make with a bunch of people, as there are lots of jobs to do!
